From blossoms comes
this brown paper bag of peaches
we bought from the boy
at the bend in the road where we turned toward
signs painted Peaches.
From laden boughs, from hands,
from sweet fellowship in the bins,
comes nectar at the roadside, succulent
peaches we devour, dusty skin and all,
comes the familiar dust of summer, dust we eat.
O, to take what we love inside,
to carry within us an orchard, to eat
not only the skin, but the shade,
not only the sugar, but the days, to hold
the fruit in our hands, adore it, then bite into
the round jubilance of peach.
There are days we live
as if death were nowhere
in the background; from joy
to joy to joy, from wing to wing,
from blossom to blossom to
impossible blossom, to sweet impossible blossom.

I did. I didn’t write them back. I kinda needed that gig though because it helped my confidence but I will have to find another way or just another thing. Thank you dear one. Sorry to always be maudlin even I tire of it!

I’m always here for you and can be very maudlin myself at times! Life is not easy and tears and pity help wash away the misery so we can move on again sweet lady❣️and remember one door doesn’t close without another one opening! You’ll find a better “thing” and I’ll be praying for that‼️ Je t’aime, N😘😘😘

Hey it’s okay! That kind of thing definitely knocks the stuffing out of us for awhile. But the we jump up and dust the seat of our pants off and move on. If not none of us would have even learned to walk love❣️😘
